Pages

Longtime Panasonic Channel Chief Sheila O'Neil has left the company, CRN learned this week. O'Neil, who has been with Panasonic for 16 years, said she was leaving to take her career in a new direction.

O'Neil joined Panasonic in 1997 as a channel sales manager and was promoted to vice president of channel sales and distribution in 2008. Earlier this year, she was named to her latest position of vice president of channel management.

Panasonic channel partners said O'Neil's departure is a significant blow for the company. Panasonic, so far, hasn't commented.
